Natchez Crape Myrtle

Natchez Crape Myrtle is a classic Southern favorite, prized for its large clusters of bright white flowers that bloom all throughout summer. This ornamental tree features a smooth, cinnamon-brown trunk that exfoliates over time, adding year-round interest. Its dark green foliage transitions to warm golden tones in autumn. With a mature height of up to 25 feet and width of 20 feet, it makes a dramatic statement as a specimen tree or when planted in rows.
